FT-IR Sample Handling Index, Methods, and Ratings [Infographic]

Written by | Published: 03.10.2015

Certain techniques of sample handling are more effective than others for specific sample types. Some methods are better for plastics, others for polymers.  In order to obtain the best quality spectrum from your sample, it is important to know which handling technique works best for your sample type so you can be confident in your spectral data and results.

Take a look at this infographic and see a Ratings Chart on which FT-IR sampling method is best for your sample.
